With lots of the old Crowd and a new friend--wealthy, unkempt, but lovable Sam Hutchinson--around, the days are filled with fun. And romance seems to be in the air. But Carney can never be romantic about anyone but Larry Humphreys, her high school sweetheart, who moved to California four years ago. Then Larry returns to Deep Valley and sets the town abuzz. Will Larry propose? And will Carney say yes? In addition to her beloved Betsy-Tacy books, Maud Hart Lovelace wrote three more stories set in the fictional town of Deep Valley: Winona's Pony Cart, Carney's House Party, and Emily of Deep Valley. Longtime fans and new readers alike will be delighted to find the Deep Valley books available again for the first time in many years.

    Settlers dreaded the long howl of the great wolf leader and the ringing chorus of the fierce pack in the northern night. Hunters and wardens alike were continually baffled and outwitted by the Wolf King’s wild deeds and uncanny intelligence.The smartest whelp of a litter of six, the black wolf learns fast and becomes a fighter and a leader. To read his story in the author’s stirring narrative is almost to be — as the author was — on the rugged Alberta frontier, and to witness the Wolf King’s battle for mastery over his kind in a mountain country where he can meet his human enemies on equal terms.This is unquestionably one of the classics of American wild life. It has held its place in the affection of readers for many years.Readers of this author’s book, Wilderness Champion, will rejoice in this companion story about the same great wolf that befriended Reddy the Champion Hound.

    There is quite definitely an element of magic, much more adult and elusive than fairy tale magic, but there all the same. It concerns five lonely people who are thrown into intimate relationship by an odd set of circumstances, and live and work together through a wonderful summer in an odd shabby old caravan. Through the happenings of that summer, they find themselves. There are two romances,- one a mature love story which is ready to ripen into marriage as the story ends, the other a teen age romance with fulfilment in the future. All in all, it is the type of story Junior High and even some High School students really want and need (and young adults wont find it below their interest level either). (Kirkus Reviews)
